I think this is pretty straight-forward. The little punk that Frazz has been enabling all these years wrote his quote on the bathroom wall, knowing full well that his “friend” will have to clean it off. Perhaps your confusion is caused by the word “imagine” in the last sentence. It might have been clearer written as “Maybe reciting a few Frost poems will comfort you during the drudgery of cleaning my handiwork off the boy’s room wall, janitor-man.” Oh my, how very droll!

(Actually, I have to admit that that quote might be rather amusing, written above a urinal. Rather like my two favorite bits of condom dispenser graffiti – “This gum tastes like rubber”, and “My dad says that these don’t work.”)

Speaking of things above urinals…
At my old campus, there were ads in the bathroom stalls and above the urinals. A friend of mine says he saw one for insurance that said: “The future is in your hands” and he started laughing hysterically. I’m guessing that’s probably not a socially acceptable thing to do as you’re standing at a urinal.

Kiki — the back story to this strip is that Frazz had to choose between participating in the triathlon or going to the championships for the team that he coaches. He chose the championship and decided that since he was not doing the triathlon, he could eat gobs of junk food.

And to further the back story, Frazz took the coaching stance that baseball should be fun for the participants and the long time losing team ended up winning. The students all apologized for making it to the championships.

I’m glad this strip made it here so late. I was never convinced I got it.

I thought that he was speaking to the more bawdy nature of the others he’d seen where he’d gotten the Frost one that he’d quoted. We don’t get Frazz here, so I’m not really familiar with the strip, but in the context of this single strip I didn’t get that he’d written the quotes, but had merely read them.

I think the quote really is on the bathroom wall, since he says “Try to imagine a few others when you’re scrubbing it off the boys’ room wall”. He says “it”, which means he’s referring to something he already said.
